Rayman Legends review

In another time and place, another world from our own, Mario didn't achieve the stranglehold he has over platform games here. The super-polished and - whisper it - somewhat sanitised, edgeless Nintendo formula didn't corner the market, and platformers...

Wacky, zany, madcap - these are words which provide a terrible disservice to how ambitious, creative and joyful Rayman Legends is. Suddenly, one of games' oldest genres seems as fresh as a hallucinogenic daisy.

Rayman Origins was a great platform game, but Rayman Legends actually surpasses it, with superb hand-painted graphics, a more player-friendly structure, vast quantities of levels and bonus levels to conquer and some of the most inventive and ingenious...

TxK

My first game of TxK was almost too much for me to take. The flashing colored lights and pulsating soundtrack made me grateful for my first game over. I put the game down to let my eyes relax by staring at a blank wall for a few minutes. After...

Rayman Legends Xbox One/PS4 review

Rayman's limbs are definitively invisible.

The real appeal of these versions, I suppose, is you get to play them on these new consoles. The controller you’re playing with will be better, there’s video sharing functionality, and you don’t need to plug in your old system again. Your investment...

Rayman Legends Review

It's almost impossible not to smile while playing Rayman Legends. Whether you're leaping, floating and slapping your way through Michel Ancel's sumptuous 2D platformer in single-player or co-op, there's a kind of madcap, anarchic and joyful exuberance...

Rayman Legends (Xbox 360 / PS3) Review

Ubisoft Montpellier follows up the spectacular 'Rayman Origins' with another dazzling side-scrolling adventure in 'Rayman Legends".

Co-op features not consistent across platforms ; Kung Foot doesn't support online play ; A few surprising difficulty spikes

Simply put - 'Rayman Legends' is pure joy and an absolute must for fans of the platforming genre.

Rayman Legends (PlayStation Vita)

Rayman Origins was one of the more imaginative titles to come out on the PlayStation Vita on launch, even though it was not an exclusive but a multiplatform title. That game received praise for its unique visuals and well-tuned 2D platforming gameplay,...

Rayman Legends

Are we all completely sick of GTA yet? Have you had enough of the near 24/7 coverage about Rockstar's latest and greatest? Well Ubisoft may well have the exact opposite of GTA for us in the form of Rayman Legends… The follow up to 2011's Rayman Origins...

Rayman Legends Review

Can Rayman Legends possibly outdo its outstanding Origins?

If you couldn't tell already, I'm smitten with Rayman's latest outing. With its focus on fun and challenging play, its endless imagination and, like a child on way too much sugar, its flat out refusal to stay still for a single second, "Rayman Legends"...

Rayman Legends Review

How far Rayman's come. Despite Ubisoft seemingly having the bizarre notion that Rayman is a household name popular enough for them to launch 2D platformers against some of the biggest games of the year (including their own - Assassin's Creed in 2011,...
